Haudenosaunee Confederacy
The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy is the oldest participatory democracy on earth, and a matriarchy. Their model of women voting & leading inspired 1st wave white feminists who lived near Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga & Seneca lands in 1800s NY.

Indigenous People's Day
Native American women (& men) couldn’t vote at all until the Indian Citizenship Act in 1924 - & states blocked Native voting up to today. See Vote. NARF. org More over the next days. I am writing from Lenape land along the Mahicantuck, trying to fill big gaps in my education.

Bright Eyes & Standing Bear
The Votes for Women catalog from @smithsoniannpg is my jumping off point for so much I didn’t know about Native feminists. “Like other people of color, Native women did not have the privilege of a single issue focus like suffrage.” #IndigenousPeoplesDay #Suffrage100 <br /><br />@<a href="https://twitter.com/smithsoniannpg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">smithsoniannpg</a> Susette La Flesche/Inshata Theumba (Bright Eyes) became <a href="http://www.nebraskastudies.org/en/1875-1899/the-trial-of-standing-bear/susette-la-flesche-tibbles/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a nationally-known spokeswoman</a> for Native rights after her role as expert witness & interpreter in defense of Chief Standing Bear, who defied federal law to leave Indian territory and return to Ponca land to bury his son. <br /><br />In Standing Bear's 1879 trial, a federal judge ruled that “an Indian is a person with the meaning of the laws of the United States,” and that Standing Bear was being held illegally. Bright Eyes & Standing Bear then toured the US to demand Native rights. <br /><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">thank you. native americans were not trying to get the vote, since that would be a form of being colonized and give up the sovereignty that they fought to retain. But i wanted to point to their rights activism; they eventually did become voters <a href="https://twitter.com/CathleenDCahill?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CathleenDCahill</a> will give us more!</p>

<br />Better had the Governor signed the full suffrage bill that passed in 1893. He didn't. In 1913 a new bill passed, but was rejected by popular referendum. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.ndstudies.gov/gr8/content/unit-iii-waves-development-1861-1920/lesson-4-alliances-and-conflicts/topic-8-suffrage/section-2-woman-suffrage-1870-1893" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Great detail</a> on women's suffrage in #NorthDakota and the connected question of whether #StandingRock Sioux were "civilized" enough to vote in 1918. 👇Â
